I just got an NES yesterday and I am wondering what games I should buy for it. I sadly only have two games and that is SMB/ Duck Hunt and Dragon Warrior.

I just got an NES yesterday and I am wondering what games I should buy for it. I sadly only have two games and that is SMB/ Duck Hunt and Dragon Warrior.
Mega Man 2
Mega Man 3
Super Mario Bros. 2
Super Mario Bros. 3
Mike Tyson's Punch Out
Legend of Zelda
... That's all I can think of atm.
Consider Kirby! I had that game and It was pretty fun.
Also try Marble Madness, I had a blast with it.
Just to name a few...
Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario Bros. 3
MegaMan II
Final Fantasy I
Dragon Quest
Chip N Dale
Contra
Castlevania
Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse
Mike Tyson's Punch Out!!
Legend of Zelda
Legend of Zelda 2: Link's Adventure
Rad Racer
Metroid
Donkey Kong
"Lifeforce" and a little game called "Rockin' Kats".
I also recommend "Wacky Races" but the game is kinda easy and a bit pricey.
Here are some more great games for the Entertainment System:
Kid Icarus
Turtles series
Dr Mario
Ice Climber
I highly recommend:
Blaster Master
Clash at Demonhead
Shatterhand
StarTropics
Vice: Project Doom
Whomp'em (nice ripoff of Wonderboy)
I also recommend you look into some repro carts, as some of the best NES games are unreleased. So far I have 4 repros and they're all great:
EarthBound
Moon Crystal
Squashed!
Super Mario Bros. 2 (j)
...there's probably only two or three more that are worthwhile, but still.
Here are my favorites (in no particular order):
-Mega Man 2
-Blaster Master
-Super Mario Bros 2 (US version trounces Japan's which is just more of Mario 1)
-Castlevania
-Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse
-Contra
-Super C
-Double Dragon
-Double Dragon 2 - THE REVENGE
-Gun.Smoke
-Gauntlet (Tengen version, not Mindscape)
There are plenty of other great titles to get as well.
All these games sound great, Though I have to say that Dragon Warrior and Dragon Quest are the same game, just a different name. I wont have a problem finding games for the NES because of the hole in the wall store I go to has over 50 NES games and he is always getting in new stuff. I will probably have to check out that Kirby game seeing as I have Kirby's Dream Land 2 for the GB and love it!
Skip the first Turtles game, it sucks. The control is quite terrible...plus it isn't all that fun.
"Manhattan Project" is the best one on the system.
A few other games that are really good:
Super Dodgeball
River City Ransom
Super Spike V Ball
Battletoads
Little Ninja Brothers
Baseball Simulator 1000
I will have to get River City Ransom, I have it for my GBA and it is great........BARF!
Don't recommend NES versions of games that are on Genesis. ;)Quote:

Just off the top of my head:
Super Mario Bros. 1 - 3
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (Better than the original if you ask me)
Dragon Warrior I - IV
Final Fantasy
Megaman 1 - 6 (The best of which being 2 and 3)
Kirby's Adventure
Dr. Mario
